backfires and hot driver's cat

So my 92 has decided that I need something to fix again... I'm just trying to pinpoint exactly what's wrong here being i'm stuck out of state visiting family. Here's what I have:
-the engine idles a bit rough, the exhaust comes out in bursts like there's a misfire,and makes backfire sounds, but the engine itself runs smoother at idle than i've seen with a dead miss
-the engine bogs out with any swing in rpm, up to about 2500, where it decides to suddenly get off the couch and run more or less correctly
-the driver's side pre cat glows after a while

i've been doing some reading and see it is most likely a stuck open injector, or the engine jumped time on that one side. is there anything else i should check, or anything with those very specific symptoms I should investigate?
